Abstract
Of 6 main forest biotopes in Southern Sikhote-Alin the highest species diversity (61 nesting species) and birds population density (444 pair/km2) were noted in lowland deciduous forests. The lowest species diversity was detected in oak forests (32 species and 137 pair/km2, respectively). The most similar forests in terms of species composition of nesting birds were Manchurian fir forest and Korean pine forest (97 % of common species).
